The FTHB won without trembling, 27-36, this Saturday, December 7 on the Angevin floor.
On paper, the gap was large between the Frontignan leader and the last, Angers. The hierarchy still had to be respected, which the FLPB did perfectly. “We didn’t have any scares because we went into the match like that”declares Guillaume Crépain. “With Joris Machard, we set alerts all week. And the guys talked about Angers like they talk about Pontault or Sélestat. With their change of coach, we know that it could cause a shock, but we were in control. »
A chance to seize
Beyond the good performance of the two goalkeepers, who played one half each, the Frontignan coach will also have appreciated the behavior of his managers. “In the 59th minute, we didn't concede the goal, we played as if it was the start of the match. The team has taken another step in maturity. Now it's up to the youngest to catch up with their elders. When they have playing time, they must give the right answer to the coaches. If I take out certain players, it is with a view to training and preparation for next year. It proves me wrong at times. Young people must seize their chance when we call on them. »
In transport this Sunday, then at rest this Monday, the Frontignan handball players will then turn to their meeting in Sélestat, the last before the break. “We will only have two practices to prepare for this match. We are going to do a lot of video, we have less time for the field and the organizations are tired. We must ensure that the players are physically and mentally well. »
